NORMAL CURVE
I. Most Essential Learning Competency:
 Identifies regions under the normal curve corresponding to different standard normal values.
 Converts a normal random variable to a standard normal variable and vice versa.
 Computes probabilities and percentiles using the standard normal table.
II. Learning Objectives:
1. Determine areas under normal curve.
2. Graphs areas under normal curve.
3. Determines probabilities under normal curve.
4. Solves problems involving normal curve.

III. Topic: NORMAL CURVE

Resources: Next Century Mathematics Statistics and Probability

IV. Concept (Generalization):

 The standard scores or Z-score measures how many standard deviation a given value (x) is
above or below the mean. The z-score are useful in comparing observed values. A positive Z-
score indicates that the score or observed value is above or below the mean, whereas the
negative z-score indicates that the score or observed value is below the mean.
 Normal curve is a bell-shaped curve. It lies entirely above the horizontal axis. It symmetrical,
unimodal, and asymptotic to the horizontal axis. The area between the curve and the
horizontal axis is exactly equal to 1. Half the area is above the mean and the remaining half
is below the mean.
V. Discussion:
Areas under normal curve can be found using the areas under the Standard Normal Curve table. These
areas are regions under normal curve.
AREAS UNDER NORMAL CURVE

Example 1: Find the area between

1|P age
 Step 1. Sketch the curve

Since 1.54 is positive. It is somewhere to the right of zero.

Step 2. Locate the area for from the Areas Under Normal Curve Table. Proceed down the column
mark z until you reach 1.5. Then proceed to the right along this row until you rich the column marked
4. The intersection of the row that contains 1.5 and the column mark 4 is the area. The area is 0.4382

Example 2. Find the area between

Step 1. Sketch the normal curve

Step 2. Let A = area between

= area between
area between
From the table,

Hence, the area between is 0.0581

Example 3. Find the area to the right of
2|P age
 Step 1. Sketch the normal curve

Step 2. Let A = area to the right of

= area between

From the table,

----- since the area of half the curve is 0.5

Hence, the area to the right of is 0.0594

Example 4. Find the area between

Step 1. Sketch the normal curve

Since is negative, the area is located to the left of . The same table will be used to find the
area to the left of since the area to the left of zero is also negative.

Step 2. Locate the area of from the table.

Hence, the area to the right of is 0.4505

Example 5. Find the area between
3|P age
 Step 1. Sketch the normal curve

Step 2. Let A = area between

= area between
area between

From the table,

Hence, the area between is 0.0606

Example 6. Find the area between

Step 1. Sketch the normal curve

Step 2. Let A = area between

= area between
area between

From the table,

Hence, the area between is 0.9099

STANDARD SCORES
4|P age
 The z-score is found using the following equations:

A. For Sample

̅
where:

B. For Population

where:

Example 7. On a final examination in Biology, the mean was 75 and the standard deviation was 5. Determine
the standard score of a student who receive a score of 60 assuming that the score are normally
distributed.

Solution:

This indicates that 60 is 1.25 standard deviation below the mean

Example 7. On the first periodic exam in statistics, the population mean was 70 and the population standard
deviation was 9. Determine the standard score of the student who got a score of 88 assuming that
the scores are normally distributed.

Solution:

This indicates that 88 is 2 standard deviation above the mean

Example 7. Luz scored 90 in an English test and 70 in a Physics test. Scores in English test have a mean of 80
and a standard deviation of 10. Scores in Physics test have a mean of 60 and a standard deviation
of 8. In which subject was her standing better assuming that the scores in her English and Physics
class are normally distributed.
Solution:

For English For Physics

𝐱 𝐱 𝐱 𝐱
𝐳 𝐳
𝐬 𝐬

Her standing in Physics was better than her standing English. Her score in English was one standard deviation above the
mean of the scores in English whereas in Physics, her score was 1.25 standard deviation above the mean of the scores in
Physics.

5|P age
Example 8. In a Science Test, the mean score is 42 and the standard deviation is 5. Assuming the scores are
normally distributed, what percent of score is
a) greater than 48?
b) less than 50?

Solution: 𝐱 𝐱
a. 1. Convert the score 48 to z-score. 𝐳
𝐬
48 4
.2
5

2. Sketch the normal curve:

Let A = area to the right of

= area between
area of the half of the curve

From the table,

Hence, 11.51% of the scores is greater than 48

b. 1. Convert the score 50 to z-score.

𝐱 𝐱
𝐳
𝐬
50 4
.6
5

2. Sketch the normal curve:

Let A = area to the left of

= area of the half of the curve
area between
From the table,

Hence, 94.52% of the scores is greater than 50.
